Welcome to THICK HITCHES, you awesome fat bitches!
THICK HITCHES is a 3-day virtual rope conference with the emphasis on people and bodies who identify as fat. We focus mostly on Japanese-inspired rope bondage in all its forms: tying each other, self-tying, floor work, and suspension funsies. This is a space where fat is the norm, we celebrate our super powers, and agitate for the change we want in rope communities.
We open this invitation to self-identified fat people and their tying partners (of any size). We welcome all roles (rigger/tops, model/bottoms, switches, etc.), all knowledge levels (beginner, intermediate, advanced), and all tying styles to this gathering that aims to bring practitioners who identify as fat together to celebrate their love for rope and exchange knowledge and experiences.
Details
– 3-day conference, approx. 15 facilitated spaces/workshops, spaces to do skillshares, lab, or just hang out
– fat-identifying people, only, people who do not identify as fat are welcome when partnered with a fat person
– highly skilled, fat facilitators will guide you, share knowledge, and hold space for you
– we take it slow, there is lots of space to just chill, hang out, try out stuff
Who is this event for?
Fat-identifying people and their partners (who do not need to be fat themselves).
This space is centering people who experience institutionalized fatphobia. If you’re unsure as to whether or not this applies to you, please consider:
Do you experience fatphobia in kink spaces?
Can you purchase clothing in ‘straight size’ shops?
Do you experience fatphobia in medical settings?
If you’d like further guidance, reach out. We’re happy to help!

After your successful ticket purchase, you will be sent an email with the Zoom login data for this event. If you do not receive it, message us with your order number so we can send it again. Some email services "disappear" our messages so please check if you received our login data email.
If this session includes a recording you can obtain it by simply purchasing a ticket. You will automatically get access to the live class and the recording as they come in a package. The recording login data will be sent out 24–48h after the live event and will be available for (at least) 14 days after the live event. Please note these classes are places for experience, not for instruction. Nothing here is tested or graded — only perceived, felt, and shared. All offerings are invitations to reflect — no curriculum, no exam, no training. Recordings exist solely to support personal integration and are available only for a limited time.
Yes, because you are paying for the knowledge our facilitators distribute, not for the access to Zoom itself. We kindly ask you to respect that and pay accordingly.
Before purchasing a solidarity ticket, please check here if you are eligible for one.
